Victim, sinners will stand condemned. Every lying excuse will be
swept away. Human apostasy will appear in its heinous character.
Men will see what their choice has been. Every question of truth
and error in the long-standing controversy will then have been made
plain. In the judgment of the universe, God will stand clear of blame
for the existence or continuance of evil. It will be demonstrated that
the divine decrees are not accessory to sin. There was no defect in
God’s government, no cause for disaffection. When the thoughts of all
hearts shall be revealed, both the loyal and the rebellious will unite in
declaring, “Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints. Who shall
not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? ... for Thy judgments
are made manifest.”
Revelation 15:3, 4
